Dear friends, I apologize for not having thanked you yet for yesterday's and today's comments. Too much to do around town these days*, but I will be back, I promise. Thank you all for your kind words, I appreciate them immensely.
The pink is lovely, but the green background really caught my eye. What an intense, rich green. We don't see much dark, lush greens in Central Texas......captivating! Hope you have your camera with you while you're off having fun ;-) ~Allie
Love your tulips Merisi and what they inspired over at Paris Breakfast. I'm going to send Somepinkflowers over to have a look. Have a lovely day, Constance
The internal combustion engine, wherever it is found, degrades the built environment, not to mention the living environment.
Trams and trolleybuses are relatively 'clean'. I know they run on electricity - and that means power stations - but the fact is that the emissions from power stations can be captured and reused so that they do not degrade the environment.
Wien it seems to me (with a few other cities I can think of and a few more I can think of that are catching on and catching up) seems to have really embraced this.
And look how beautiful it is and what a desirable place it is to live.

I am speechless!! How beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI love the ruffles . . . There are a few novels out about the tulip mania that gripped Holland several centuries ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy that must be, to see flowers on the tramway stop traffic island.
ReplyDeleteAnd how lovely they are, up close like this.

These are wonderful! The lighting is perfect. I would rather have your photo than the real thing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Vienna with me!
ReplyDeleteOooo you added even more!
ReplyDeleteStreetcar; tramway: words to inspire . . . gliding along together with the clip clop of the fiakers . . .
ReplyDeletelike the tulips (which look particularly pink, fresh-faced and happy to be there) inspire.
A dream city.
PS: tut-tut: I noticed the books on early tulip mania - it certainly feels wonderful to go out and buy a bunch for 1.50 GBP after all that.
Stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love how you use the focus in your photography.
traffic island tulips! here we only have weeds....
